Anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda returns once again to the story of his apprenticeship with the Yaqui Indian sorcerer don Juan. When his teacher instructs him to collect the memorable events of his life, Castaneda performs a task that turns out to be the preparation necessary for facing "the definitive journey" that every human being has to take at the end of his life. His approach to what modern man refers to as "life after death" makes for an unusually moving and revealing book.
